PhMe 98-5301 IT WILL NEVER BE THE SAIME Mr. Alex Carruthers, if oua- assumptions are correct, must Wonder what lias happened to Us quiet'rural riding Of Durham, Regional government hias created a storm of protest fron the east andi now, no doubt, further turbu- lence will lbe createti with the proposai ta use some 450 acres in Hope Township as a refuse area for Metro gar- bage, Add to this the coming hydro transmission limes to eut somewhere through thýe ridiig and highway 407 pro- posed to pass through the hc,'dwaters of the Wilniot Creek, and you ean imagine that our local MPP willlieflooded with protest delegations and hundrecis of cails. it is quite evident that the Durhamn area cai ri longer bce the quiet, secluded district remote from the pres- sures andi clamour of Meto. This area will bce affected and in fact is being affected. Hydro transmission limes,, aithough iugly, are a ne- e,,ssty of our way of life, Sqince we are not ready to change this way of life the lime-s nmust lie oonstructed andi Pass ovea-head ta keep industry operative andi employinxent up. The same is true o:f Highway 407. We cannot block off travel as weekend vacationers geek the pleasantries of open, spaces; nor can we thaottie commerce between oee area and another. Site for garbage disposai aiso cornes under the cat- egory of neessity andi as population spirais in the Metro area new dlisposai sites are a prerequisite. 0f course no one wants a disposai area, hydro limes or highway affeetingç their life but the fact we live this close to Metro, many of these 'necessities will affect Our life There is no wray to reverse thc trendi and the pressures ~eVen thirty miles from a Metro area. We will bce forced te live as neighbburs. I the matter -of disposai areas, thcy need flot lie a curse if properly maintaiined, properly encompassed and piaceti in an area doing ne damage ta the enivironanent. Everycrie, even those un,Oronio, parcel their garbage te bc disposeti elsewhere. The Metro operation is just on a larger scaie. But it is this larger operatJon that carrnes the stigma and creates dissent. We would suggest, of course, along with good, oper-, ation, that such a disposai proposai as li Hope be "e- stricted to a perioti cf flot more than fifteen years and that the land at the end of the perioti be turned over as publie lands for recreation. The pressures of Metro are upon us and with our pro.ximity to Toronto it wii countinue. The fact that the C1larke arca has been designateti a green beit area is of- great significance to help retard these pressures. KINSMEN ORGANIZING With the report this week that the formation of a Kinsmen Club is immiinent for the Orono arca we cani expect somle jnew activities. It is somewhat surprising thait in the past OrDioolbas flot attracted a service club of this nature it lia«.s fot been that consideration lias not been. ive- but rathler that many feit. there were' alteady too many organizations. No doubt the Orpno Chamber of Commerce and the orono Oddfellows provideti manY Of the service aspects' but there certainly are gaps in this service which could weli afford such a club as the insmen,. May we extenti a Wish for success to this group. TALENT ABOUNDS it neyer ceases to amaze one the talent that abounds li this area and of course tbi is true the world over. The Publie Schooi bànd.plaYing at thc UCW variety night, is a *point ini view. Their programme, of music and ability was outstanding andi certainly worthY Of comment from this conrit is amazing how easY it appears for these Young- sters to piey their instruments and develop the collective sounti of thc ful band.
